Schematic drawing showing our comparison of transcriptional and post-transcriptional sRNA-mediated regulation. We take as the input signal to both systems a protein regulator (blue discs) that either directly transcriptionally regulates the relevant gene by acting as a repressor or transcriptionally regulates an sRNA acting as an activator. The protein regulator is chosen to have identical kinetic properties in both cases.
